Abstract

A recent research article described a multiple lines of evidence approach to demonstrate the effectiveness of PFAS remediation technologies. These lines of evidence were developed by an interdisciplinary group including academic researchers, practitioners, and vendors. This article provides a brief overview of the lines of evidence approach and presents a practical application to a validated PFAS treatment technology that utilizes ultraviolet-activated photocatalytic silica-based granular media (UV/SGM) to filter concentrated PFAS-containing liquids and achieve PFAS destruction. This case study illustrates the application of the lines of evidence approach and summarizes work done to validate an innovative PFAS treatment technology.
